  1. GIS for Utilities in the Pacific Island Countries Edwin Liava’a SPC/SOPAC Technical Support – GIS/RS

  2. Introduction • The Need • Current Developments • Examples • Vision for the future • Summary • Questions

  3. The need for GIS in Pacific Islands Utilities • The need to have a geographical overview of distributed assets • The need for an asset management tool to assist design and planning • The need for demand and supply forecasting • The need for loss reduction • The need for better service delivery to customers

  4. PICs with Utility GIS

  5. Current Developments • Separation of Tabular Data from Spatial Data • Modularity • Independence • Systems integration, from Asset management to linking to ICT and other corporate systems such as OSS, DSS, Billing, etc. • Improve service delivery • Enabling technology • Customised GIS • Access Basic • MapBasic • Python/QGIS • Web Application (Geoserver, MapServer) • Systems transferable • Adaptability • Scalability

  6. FIJI – Power GIS • FEA, Designs for new extension and upgrades to existing transmission and distribution system

  7. FIJI – Teleco GIS • TFL, Better decision making and service delivery to customers

  8. FIJI – Water GIS • WAF, Linking Meter location to Customers billing records

  9. FIJI – Aerodromes GIS • AFL, Aerodromes database and wild-life grids
